interception probe
the spy probe goes to a specific planet and waits there for 24hrs. in that time it will intercept all messages sent to and from the planet. however it will cost 500 points for every message that is intercepted.

This is a really interseting idea.
But I am wondering about the points. For top ranking players 500 is not much, but for (a lot) of other players it is quite much.
I am only wondering about it.
But the rest is good. I don't know if it will be used that much, just like the scrambler.
The fact is that you only have 3 (or 4) probes, and you still want to know the enemy who you want to attack.
I wonder who invented it??

The problem with the probe is that you might intercept random message between two players. What is the purpose of that kind of message in which a player greet another player?
I think for 50 points, I am willing to maybe maybe maybe spy on a player.

I like the idea, but it is not good.
Yes, there will be send messages about ST. But i think friends, who is playing ST together, will send private messages too.
So i think, the privacy of the players is more important than using this probe and see what others will write.
So, don't add this probe, it is just reading e-mails and hearing phone calls of others.

| interesting invention...but this could prove useless as in-game messaging isn't the only way to communicate. besides, 500 is alot for me =) |

I was the one who invented this probe. And before i came to spacetrace i was in another game which used something like this. And at the register screen it said alll that stuff abut privacy. Although i do suppose aboout the other ways to communicate.......

Intimidate your enemy is an efective strategy
And i write the messages in spanish with insult but in english

Why should you have to lose points? Most of the chatter between players is rubish and not of any tactical use. It's unfair on noobs in particular. It might just be useful if, and only if, it is active for longer than a day and it doesn't lose you any points for intercepting.
